Management

Eric “Zootie”

Owner Proprietor
The nickname “Zootie” has an interesting European backstory, but Eric used vaping to quit smoking 5 years ago and has been cigarette free for more than 2 years. After discovering the joy of product reviews and Vaperz Cloud distribution, he opened his first vape retail store in Paeonian Springs, followed by a second in historic downtown Leesburg Virginia. Most recently he opened a third shop in Hagerstown Maryland making Zootie’s a multiple state brand. He is active in the community through advocacy by being the Outreach Coordinator for the SFATA-VA chapter, regularly posting product reviews and hosting an after-hours vapecentric podcast, as well as promoting local community social events. He is passionate about promoting vaping as a tobacco harm reduction option, helping others discover a smoke-free experience. Outside of the business, he is a pinball and motorcycle enthusiast and loves hoppy craft beer and live local music.
